We just had our Mothers' Day brunch today and it was great. I ordered the "chicken" sandwich, my wife had a breakfast burrito, and our son had the nacho mac-n-"cheese". It was all excellent. Even the coffee was really good. Our server was completely knowledgeable about accommodating our son's allergies, too. Btw, it's a good thing we arrived slightly before 11:00 because the place was packed by noon. I think this is going to be a regular thing for us, to stop off on our way to our Detroit Symphony Sunday afternoon concerts. The only thing that might have made the experience better: if Spacecat V-stro had a liquor license and could have served us Bloody Marys with our brunch. ;-) read more

Where to begin? Spacecat is truly a staple of life. Firstly the food is fantastic. I always recommend the weekly specials. Shelly put so much work in creating amazing flavor combinations and brining something new to the menu. Pro tip - upgrade your side to the Cesar salad, and if you like it spicy the Spacecat habanero sauce to dip your handheld in will be your bestie. I also can never leave without many sweet treats. Honestly sometimes I just stop by for a coffee and cookies, cakes, and/or muffin - TOO many options. The ambiance is fantastic. It lives up to its name in every scenario - even on the bathroom doors. The service always makes me feel like I'm at home. Special shout out to Coco for always making me feel welcomed and taken care of. I'm so grateful that Ferndale has this gem of a place. read more

I've been trying to eat there for years, but they close early in the afternoon, so I never got a chance, until Saturday morning. We decided to have breakfast there on our way to Detroit. First of all, the place is super cute, very clean and the staff is welcoming and friendly. They don't have many items you could call a breakfast, so we went with the burrito and the special of the week, waffle party. Both were good, well seasoned and tasted really home made. They should mention that the dishes come with sweet potatoes, not regular ones, as not everyone likes sweet potatoes. My husband doesn't, so he wasn't very happy when he got the plate. I had to eat them. The warm salad could have more seasoning. Overall, we were happy with the food and everything l, the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the price. Not that there is anything expensive going into the food, chickpea tofu is far less expensive than soy tofu, homemade sausage too if you compare to fake meats. For that reason we probably won't be coming back. $20 for a waffle sandwich is too expensive in my opinion. read more

Hey you! Are you looking for a friendly, sci-fi inspire, pet friendly, and welcoming vegan restaurant. Look no further than Spacecat V-Stro. I have been coming to this establishment for years now and I always feel welcomed when I enter the door. Today we checked out the cosmic fries along with their grilled cheese at the day and vegan style chicken fingers. I have to note that this establishment is completely vegan which is perfect if you're looking for some options in the area. Now I know you're wondering hey is there parking absolutely there's parking paid in front of the establishment, and there is parking garage. And the entrance is filled with cute animal photos. read more

The food, service, and overall vibe of this restaurant was so fun! The servers were so kind and friendly, answering every questions and making good recommendations. The food was VERY good, and the vegan treats were also so good. My family enjoyed every dish we ate (even picky eaters can enjoy)! read more

First time eating at this restaurant-'and wow was I impressed. I had the vegan chicken and waffles with "Brunchy Potatoes" (sweet potatoes with onion and garlic greens. I wouldn't have thought the sweet potato mixture would be good, but it was quite tasty. I'd definitely have it again. Everything was DELICIOUS! Can't wait to try other dishes they offer! read more

This place is so cute! Very small, like a diner but has plenty of seating, including a few booths and high tops. I have a ton of food allergies which makes me lean toward more plant based so I was super excited to try out Spacecat V-stro since they are fully vegan and make all their proteins in house!! My friend and I both got one of the specials which was the Best Spuds Forever. It was absolutely delicious. It came with roasted sweet potatoes which were fantastic. I'll be trying to recreate the seasoning they put on them at home! read more

Spacecat V-stro - Best Spuds Forever + sweet potatoes - Comfort Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I really enjoy the vibe of this place. Every time I've gone here we have always had great and friendly service. The place is also decorated with a lot of cute touches supporting their space theme from astronaut salt shakers to space themed wall art. As for the food they really hit home runs with their potato soup, cheese sticks, fries, and Cesar salad which I have had and really enjoyed. As for the other things that I have tried they were not out of this world to say but being that they are custom made by Spacecat I give them props for doing so (your not just getting a premade Beyond Meat something). I have had the chkn sandwich (patty was a bit thick for me), burger burrito which is good but inconsistent from what I've gotten other times (this last time it didn't have some of the listed ingredients and flavor was a bit off), and the loaded nachos which again are good but just did not have that wow factor for me at least. Overall though I will definitely come back to try a few more things off their menu and again kudos to Spacecat for making original vegan food. read more

First time visiting!! This place is cute and sits on the street with multiple restaurants. The service was great. We placed the order and waited vs ordering online. It took about 15 mins and it was fresh. My husband said the food was good, but wishes he would have went with his first choice of the chicken and waffle sandwich. He did mention the greens could have been a tad bit seasoned more, but overall it was still tasty! The salted chocolate chip cookie....AMAAAAAZZZZIIIIINNG!! I wish we would've bought some back with us! If the desserts taste anything like this cookie, then I know it's good! They have a nice variety of vegan food and the website spells everything out for you especially if it's not vegan. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because of the parking situation. I didn't see a garage near by and we were lucky to find a spot I front of the building, but I can imagine parking being an issue. I'm sure we will be back when we visit home again! read more

Always tasty, freshly made, and worth every penny. This is quality comfort food without the side of ethical dilemma. Get your tasty breakfast bomb that has a spicy kick in the biscuit! I usually get that or the red dwarf burger. Really, you can't go wrong here. I've never had a meal here that wasn't tasty. The carrot b*c*n is thinly sliced carrots marinated in tasty sauce. You won't even miss the real bacon. Service is always friendly and the interior is super cute. read more

Spacecat V-stro - Pickup area - Comfort Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Staff were very friendly and attentive. We went at 10 AM and there was only 1 more table there. I've been told that place gets extremely busy and food takes long. Our wait for food was about 20-25 minutes. Everything is made from scratch and made to order. The quality of food was very fresh. Flavors were really good. Textures in the food were great. Presentation wise it was pleasing to look at. The menu changes weekly, so do not get hooked on one thing for too long. As the owner has versatility in menu choices, and always picks great weekly specials. The restaurant overall is kind of tight squeezed, there is ample seating though. Clean atmosphere, and there is really nice decor. You can tell the owners put a lot of love into this place. Sadly they close at 3 PM and we're not always able to catch them before they close. However It's definitely worth the drive! read more

This place looks and feels really cool. I however will not return. I didn't receive much of the lukewarm chowder in my cup but that's OK because it was not to my liking. I moved on to my Cosmic Fries because come on! Potato wedges, sea salt, cheese sauce, yes please! Well no actually, someone forgot the salt altogether. Trying to make it flavorful with the cheese sauce which is nice but ran out 5 wedges in. Mama said there would be days like this... read more

This place is fantastic! I spotted it last weekend when I was at Bobcat Bonnie's and saw it across the way. I told a bunch of friends and we came here for brunch the very next weekend. This is an adorable space with super cute decor. The people working here were all very friendly and helpful. There were so many interesting dishes to try we did not know what to order there were too many things we wanted to try. I got their cheese sticks since I had seen them online here, on Yelp, and they looked really good. They were incredible! So good and hot and crunchy. Funny enough, they reminded me of my favorite cheese on a stick at Cedar Point in the best way possible. I could see getting them every time. I look some home for the family to try and they loved them too. Their magic spacecat sauce was also amazing. It tasted like a spicy version of a Big Mac or other fast food burger sauce. So good, you can taste the spices, the mustard, probably a must order on the side every time you visit. They sell it as well. It would be worth purchasing the bottle for home. I also tried their special of the day jalapeño biscuit sandwich. I believe it had scrambled tofu that looked and tasted like yummy eggs, a homemade sausage patty which was delicious, I believe vegan cheese and dill ranch. It was a tall thick sammy. So good and flavorful! I also took some home for the family and they also really enjoyed it. I am sure they would return with me to order more. They also sell cookies and other pastries. They mentioned they were recognized by PETA for their cookies and other customers around were eating them and said they were good. I did not have room but maybe next time. I enjoyed the cute diner atmosphere and this has to be one of the most unique and delicious vegetarian restaurants I have visited in a very long time. read more

Excellent Food and Service. I had cake, cookies and Vegan Cheeseburger( I think). All was delicious

Went here for breakfast, the food was lovely and the service wonderful! The place is built for vegans-- the whole menu is vegan except for one item. My nonvegan Dad also enjoyed his breakfast and the sauces were delish! Hope to come back soon for lunch. read more

I'm a regular at this place for a reason! My partner and I were looking for a good breakfast / lunch joint that had options for both of us because I'm gluten free and he is lactose intolerant. All the servers are great and Coco is especially knowledgeable about the food and possible modifications to certain dishes (try the quesadilla with Burmese tofu added! So good!). The specials are always interesting and my partner is never disappointed by the cookie of the week. Their batch brew coffee is Hyperion and better than your average diner joe. We've also never had issues getting a table, which is a huge plus considering the weekend brunch scene around Ferndale. I've never had a bad meal here and suggest you check it out even if you're not vegetarian- and get the cheeze sauce on the cosmic fries when you do! read more

Spacecat V-stro - Tostada special with cool side salad - Comfort Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

A small update to my review- spacecat vstro now offers table service! Still highly recommend this spot.

Go here every 2 weeks and really enjoy the fun specials they offer and creative names for it all. The bakery options are delightful and the first thing we pick to save as our dessert as they sell fast. Only wish the food has a little bigger size in portions. You have to check out if you are vegan and in the area. read more

finally got a chance to try Spacecat V-stro and very much enjoyed! Cute, clean atmosphere and friendly staff. I had the "big dill" special, which was a tempeh grilled sandwich with dill pickles and red cabbage. It was delicious! I got the garlic kale as a side as well as the kale slaw, and i actually enjoyed the slaw more than the garlic kale but both were pretty good. the only reason i am giving less than 5 stars is that the wait time was quite long despite having no other customers and multiple people in the kitchen. Despite this I really enjoyed my meal and i will definitely try this place again. read more

This place is perfect. The vegan food is well balanced and interesting. It's original with familiar ingredients. We tried the breakfast bomb and the chicken waffles. We shared them. Excellent food. Nothing was greasy and it was all cooked to perfection. I'm gushing in this review over the food because it really is that good. The ambience is casual, kind of pop, sunny and welcoming.. there is a space cat vibe and it's ironic and humorous. This is a fun place to be. This place is a gem. I highly recommend eating there. read more

Everything is vegan except 1 thing. I love that. The waiter was super nice and very informative. Everything is made in-house. They have weekly specials, and they sounded pretty good. But I missed nachos, they were delicious!! I'll be back for more of that. Also, I grabbed a small plate, half size grilled cheese (very buttery taste but good) with chickpea nuggets (ok) + magic sauce (good). Then I tried my friends cheeseburger burrito, weird item, lettuce welded, but my friend enjoyed and only stopped eating from meaning full. read more

Spacecat V-stro - Breakfast bomb - Comfort Food Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I came here with some coworkers who are vegetarian and had lunch. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing! I wouldn't have known it was vegetarian! It was very flavorful. I'd def go back. My only complaint is that I wish I had more drink options. I did have the salted cookie, which was also really good! I only wish it came as a set of 2-3 cookies or that they cookies were bigger. Overall, great experience and I'd go back. read more

This place was very cute, and had decent enough food. I enjoyed the vegan cheese sticks a lot, I've never had anything like it and it definitely made me more inclined to try other vegan foods in the future. The sausage and peppers was ok, the peppers & onions could've been cooked longer, and the sausage a little crispier. The breakfast bomb was really good. My spouse and I agreed that we liked the others food better lol.The restaurant itself is adorable, but the music is a little off putting. read more

The food is unbelievably good, even if you're not vegan. Have had several dishes on the menu, but the cheeseburger burrito is the one I keep coming back for. I cannot believe that it's vegan. The waffles are also perfect. Atmosphere is fun and cozy, the counter is full of pastries that look so good that you'll order German chocolate cake at 9:00 AM on a Sunday and not regret it. Staff have always been friendly, warm, and welcoming. read more

Hello I visited Spacecat V-stro today i been here a couple different times and today it was not the same. For start my server as she stated KOKO was her name wasn't very friendly she gave off didn't wanna serve because I was a woman of color. The whole entire atmosphere was a if you wasn't white they wasn't giving you there best service she didnt check in with me to make sure my food was fine never gave me any more water which is fine with all respect I will not be back just for reference anyone of color just be careful of visiting. read more

They have amazing baked goods every week, all vegan and some even gluten free :) and the food they make is so delicious, they have a regular menu and weekly specials that they rotate through. My faves have to be the brunch salad, the brunch quesadilla, and the cheese sticks! read more

First time trying this place & I was really impressed. I had gotten the veggie burger with carrot bacon and a side of fries. (Oh! It came with a small salad w/ vinaigrette dressing) I ate the entire meal in one setting. But it was really flavorful & delicious. I am eager to try more. I will definitely be back. I can't wait until the inside dining will be open again. I'll be bringing a friend. read more

Ordered the Spacecat Purrito - grilled burrito, flavorful with peppers vegan sausage, potatoes, spicy sauce with sweet potatoes very scrumptious and tasty and quite good, the size was okay but would've liked if it was bigger. The side of sweet potatoes was a welcome addition. ($9 value) Also the Black Hole Burger was hearty and thick loved the melted cheese on the burger, light garlic greens was a nice added touch. Wish the lentil black bean burger could be a little more flavorful or some added sauce. ($10 value) The service was nice and the girl was sweet and kind as they gave curbside delivery when you order over the phone. Decent size but wish there was more portion ordering two items was almost enough but I can't imagine if I ordered just one item how it would've lacked to fill me up. It's a little pricey and the portions were borderline lacking to almost enough, would I come here again and recommend this place? Yes. Next time I'll try the chicken sandwiches and cheeseburger burritos. Plus I like their creative menu items and the Spacecat theme which makes this place pretty intriguing. read more

Welcome , welcome to this new gem in the Ferndale neighborhood!!! Vegetarian YUM! (I brought a vegetarian chicken and waffles to my parents, who are NOT vegetarians and they loved it too!) The Breakfast Bomb is... wait for it: the BOMB! Easily my favorite with that little spicy kick. We chose the potato side option and those are really delicious. Next time I will add an extra side order of those for sure. The chicken and waffles is very shareable! The waffles are those nice thick pieces, a meal in itself, and comes with maple syrup dip If you're less hungry, order the biscuit and coffee for all of the deliciousness but smaller meal. We also ordered the side of tempeh bacon and ate that with the biscuit, making an entirely extra meal. (Unnecessary but so good!) So happy to see these guys here It's so super filling.. I fed 5 of us on $53! (Plus $2 tax and 20% tip) I was super intrigued when I saw they were opening on social media and drive from Bloomfield to try it today via pick up (indoor dining closed at the moment) and it was worth it. I would drive back again anytime. Nothing like it on my side of town. read more

A vegan great Breakfast and lunch . Great dessert choices . Always a pleasure to dine in with Shelly and crew .

We loved it and will definitely come back! We had the burrito with sweet potatoes and the breakfast bomb on a jalapeño biscuit. The coffee was good too! Well done Spacecat V-stro!!! read more

As a vegan, coming from LA to Detroit and the lack of vegan restaurants is to say the least, disappointing. I finally gave Space Cat Vstro a try. Mixed results. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Coco. I ordered two items to go, the chicken parm and the cheeseburger burrito. The chicken parm was bland and the bun was too soft and fell apart easily. On the other hand, the burrito was flavorful and had great texture. I will be back to try other menu items. read more

Upon arrival space cat is a very cute cafe with pictures of people's pets hanging. A server came over and spoke to us pretty quickly after sitting down but the wait for the food was about 25-30 minutes which is a little insane for a little cafe that wasn't busy when we came in. The power bowl was pretty much flavorless I had about a bite and didn't finish it, I actually asked for it to be taken off the bill because I didn't like it so much this wasn't honored and I had to pay for it. All together for 3 things our food was about $40-43. We also tried the Mac and cheese (no flavor) and the grilled cheese which was a 6.5/10. Wouldn't come here again even drowned in salt & pepper the food sadly had no flavor. I don't know why places think vegan food has to be flavorless. read more

I got takeout from this restaurant for the first time last week and the service was fast & friendly. I'm not vegan but eat mostly plant based. I loved the vegan chicken parm sandwich, the texture of the meat was really good. The mac and cheese was a bit lackluster compared to the real stuff but if you're totally dairy free, might still be a good option. I will be back to try a few of their other dishes! I was able to find parking right in front but you might have to park in the lot or structure and walk if it's busy downtown. read more

I have been coming to Spacecat for years as a regular. I look forward to getting a lunch there in the middle of a busy work week. The weekly specials keep things interesting and the names of all the selections are so fun. I recommend upgrading the side salad to a Caesar Salad! Everything is so yummy and even non-Vegan friends are delighted and are surprised that Vegan desserts can be so good. Bonus that Shelly and her staff are so personable and you can tell they put love and care into making the food and taking care of the customers. My cat Muffin loves to stop by with me for a patio hang on some weekend days too. She recommends the shade and bird watching in the back. read more
